The series is produced by Matador Content and The Weinstein Company in association with Bandwagon Media with Jay Peterson, Patrick Reardon, Smith and Grunberg serving as executive producers. The show is expected to premiere with a special episode covering San Diego&#8217;s Comic-Con in late July, with eight more episodes to run weekly starting in late summer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKevin and Greg are both true fans of this content, and share a deep passion for talking about it, and engaging other fans about it. But it is their natural chemistry as hosts that really brings this idea together,\u201d said Joel Stillerman, president of original programming and development for AMC and SundanceTV. \u201cAs part of our growing non-fiction slate, we wanted to create a broadly entertaining venue for hardcore fans and general viewers where we can break down all things fanboy on a weekly basis; and we wanted to bring those fans great interviews and exclusive looks into the world of fanboy culture. We look forward to sharing this highly entertaining duo with our viewers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAMC has been my TV family for five seasons of <em>Comic Book Men<\/em> now, so I know that <em>Geeking Out<\/em> is in the perfect, fan-friendly network hands,\u201d said Smith. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to lose fluids on the airwaves of my favorite channel over the genre gems we\u2019re gonna get insider access to due to gregarious Greg\u2019s bonafides! And to make it even more of a family affair, <em>Geeking Out<\/em> lets me work with the Weinsteins again\u2014the two guys who started my career 22 years ago! I\u2019m lucky to be working at all, let alone working with friends and family on a dream show where all we do is talk about all the media that makes us moist!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI get all my work from my friends. Now it\u2019s time for me to take advantage of those relationships even more,\u201d said Grunberg. \u201cI am going to get every single genre-based writer, director and actor I know to come on our show and geek out with us. And they\u2019re going to thank me for it. I love how Kevin Smith smells and we fit together like two hibernating fan-bears. Thanks to AMC and the Weinsteins, the rest of the world is going to get to see what\u2019s inside our dark, dank geek cave. It&#8217;s going to be a fun 30 minutes, if I can just get Kevin to stop talking and smoking.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW YORK: Kevin Smith (Comic Book Men, Clerks) and Greg Grunberg (Heroes, Star Wars: Episode VII\u2014The Force Awakens) are set to host a new late-night talk show on AMC tentatively titled Geeking Out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[306,307,308,309],"class_list":["post-6798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-amc","tag-geeking-out","tag-greg-grunberg","tag-kevin-smith"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>AMC Slates Late-Night Talk Show with Kevin Smith &amp;
